Dangerous weather in north Texas began with a severe thunderstorm that pummeled Denton with hail as large as grapefruit and softballs.

The National Weather Service reports hail of 3½-inch diameters and larger fell along U.S. 380 north of downtown Denton shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday. Denton city spokeswoman Lindsay Baker says reports of broken windows and windshields and other hail damage were widespread along that corridor, including the Texas Woman’s University campus. No injuries were reported.

Schools and businesses in the area closed and sheltered anyone there in place. As the storm passed through the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) trains stopped running.
